Members Choice is based on the number of comments that an image receives from different users. It is probably generated automatically. I suspect that his images get lots of comments because members will ask him questions by posting a comment on one of his images instead of trying to email him via admin or support. He has frequently suggested that one leave a comment on any of his images if they want to contact him. He does respond quickly if you do. I don't think anything is rigged and I would bet few people even pay attention to this area of the Stats & Community page.

Agreed - I think it is meant to be the images people are commenting on and talking about.  It is probably a bit skewed now that automated e-mails all go onto your most recent upload.  If you don't upload much, and have lots of favorites who post blogs, you'll probably get into the 'members choice' !
